I have lived well over half my life (40+ years) in the Chihuahuan Desert but have traveled through, hiked and camped in every major desert of the United States and Mexico. I have also traveled the entire length of the Atacama Desert in Chile by land. Las Vegas is located on the northern edge of the Mojave Desert.

The area surrounding Las Vegas also has much to offer residents and visitors who may be weary with or disinterested in the glitz of the Strip.xtraterrestrial Highway. Nevada Route 375 was officially named the Extraterrestrial Highway due to the many claimed sightings of UFOs along the 92-mile stretch of road. From Las Vegas, take Interstate 15 north to U.S. 93 north and turn west on Nevada Route 375.
